The youngster had been sitting in a park in the Turkish city of Istanbul when a man tells him that the sound of a plane is a bomber, about to drop deadly explosives.

The terrified youngster leaps up off the ground and starts running around, looking for a way to get over the small fence around the children's playpark.

The man can be heard laughing and clearly enjoying the fun, filming the boy as he eventually scrambles over the fence and runs towards the wall, where he tries to press himself against the surface to gain some protection.
